Cam Newton had one of the greatest individual seasons of all time in 2015. So it should be no surprise that he is Sporting News’ Offensive Player of the Year.

Don’t just take our word for it. In our annual poll of players, coaches and executives around the NFL, Newton got a whopping 67 percent of the votes. That gave him considerable distance from the four runners-up — Tom Brady, Antonio Brown, Carson Palmer and Adrian Peterson.

Given how impressive those guys were through 16 games, Newton had to be historically special. And he was.

You win fantasy football, you win the world. Good job Cam.

Fantasy football is based off stats. Stats are generated by play on the field. Cam generated A LOT of plays on the field. One of the greatest all time offensive performances no matter how you set the context.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
